Hi- one more note- my husband had some more info about the house being haunted– a young son drowned in the quarry on the property. Hope this helps.

You did such a beautiful job of covering Harvest Day photographically last year. We are hoping you’ll be there again this year!

Thanks,
Carolyn

I used to live in Sandy RunII, in the house my husband grew up in (in the 70-80s). He said the Scammel house was always ’spooky’, and that as kids, the big dare was to run into the woods and go touch the house and run back.
As adults, we knew the houses were being rented, as I believe they still are today. There was a story going around that there was an extensive wine collection in the cellar, and that there had been a robbery in the late 1990’s- all the wine was smashed up, by vandals. It made me worry about the property and what else was still there.
When the current(?) owner was trying to develop, (Erlich, I believe his last name is) got angry that the township repeatedly turned his proposals down, and apparently started clearcutting the property of trees, causing a huge mess for the property owners along Princeton drive behind him. (major runoff issues). I remember hearing the heavy machinery equiptment tearing throught the property and hearing the rumors that ‘Ehrlich was pissed off’. It was about 2 weeks of worrying about the old place ad wondering how much damage he was going to do, then it jsut stopped, and nothing else has happened.
I did just see a preliminary sketch plan last weekend of the proposed new development there.. the main house must be rehabbbed by the developer, and then about 16 new homes surrounding it….
Hope this info is helpful or at least interesting.
